Tasso
List of Ingredients
Tasso is made from pork butt that has been cut into strips approximately 2 x 4 x 1 inch thick. Can also use boneless pork strips.
Pork
3 parts plain salt
2 parts Brown sugar
2 parts fresh black pepper
1 part cayenne
1 part white pepper
2 parts paprika
1/2 part celery seed
1 part onion powder
1 part garlic powder
1/2 part cinnamon
1/2 part mustard seed
Recipe
Coat heavily and refrigerate 2-4 days before smoking. Heavy smoke at 200-225 until internal temperature reaches 165.
You want to smoke your Tasso at a low temperature with heavy smoke. Your finished Tasso should be FIRM so that it does not flake or fall apart. To use, dice it and add to your long simmering gumbos, jambalayas, and cajun soups.
